| A key part of the CELA leadership academy curriculum is the breakout groups. Material may be introduced in structured modules in plenary session, but no module may be said to be complete until its material has been discussed, practiced and assimilated by participants in small breakout groups under the direction of facilitators. Breakout groups are where participants thoroughly familiarize themselves with concepts presented in plenary sessions. They usually consist of 7 participants each and two facilitators. Breakout groups allow participants to talk and interact more meaningfully with one another: and it is one of the axioms of CELA that some of the most valuable teaching the course can offer will result from participants learning from one another. Some modules call for individual participants to present an idea or vision to the group. Other modules call for the group to work in tandem on a single project. Still others invite participants to act out small scenarios of 2-3 people, to analyze videotapes of one another, or to join in role-play. At times, breakout groups will convene in plenary to present the results of their work for comparison and discussion.
